Add to your list oE the horrors of modern warfare: British radio comedians are now per¬ mitted to talte cracica at Hitler. '. . . Inside information trickling out of Germany over the sub¬ terranean grapevine is to the effect that the higher military leaders of the Nazis are getting fed up with Hitler's interference in purely military affairs. Sir Neville Henderson, pre-war nritish ambassador to Germany, who knows what he's talking about intimates that Julius Streiclier may be a much-mal¬ igned man .J .'Sir Neville says that many of the anti-Jewish cruelties coinmonly ascribed to Strelcher were personally order¬ ed by Badblf . . .

Tho reason why the Hefugoe Conference  . at    Washin^on is something ot a flop is because the Frencli and British govern¬ ments take the stand that after the war the minorities in Cen¬ tral and lEastern Europe will no longer have to seek a place of refuge ... As a matter ot fact, so convinced are the Allies that before long tho Hitler govern¬ ment will be a thing ot the past that they believe that as soon as the war is over many of the refugees who are now looking for a home will be rushing back to Germany . . . Don't lay any bets on Hitler's death becoming the biggest news story in the history ot American novvspaper- dom ... If he should die while still riding high his obituary in the Times will be seven columns long, and no more . . . It's all prepared . - . What we person¬ ally  hope  for    is    a    two-line item buried among the ads in, aay, 19B0,, saying: "Adolf Hitler, who once fooled a lot of people died   in his. padded ceil.'

NEW YORK (WNS)—At least 4,000 Jews were forced to leave Vienna for the Jewish state in Poland, according to an Asso¬ ciated Press Dispatch from Ber¬ lin which said that Berlin authorities have Informed the Jewish community in Vienna that the city must be free ot all Jews by March 1, 1940.
At a time when Germans from Estonia and Latvia were being repatriated into the Reich thous¬ ands of Viennese Jews of Vienna and Machrisch-Ostrau, former Czecho-Slovakian city, were given three days to leave the Reich. The Associated Press report said that the first contin¬ gent of 2,000 men between the ages of 18 and 50 left Vienna two weeks ago followed a week later by 2,000 more. Fear was expressed among Jews in Ber¬ lin, Frankfort-on-thc-Maln, Bres¬ lau and other cities that they might be tho next to bo ordered to leave for the Jewish state.
The dispatch further disclosed that tho Vienna Jews had to abandon their homes and turn the keys over to the Jewish com¬ munity. They were permitted to take 110 poMhds of luggage and 300 marks (about $120) worth ot machinery and tools.
The deportees' homes as well as business houses will either be administered by the .Tewish com¬ munity or sold. It Is believed that whatever the deported Jews could not take with them was confiscated by the Nazi authorities.
